Are you a paid editor with a conflict of interest?

Hello MariMonroe. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:MariMonroe. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=MariMonroe|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:10, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Patrick Zhong

Hello MariMonroe,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Patrick Zhong for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

I have deleted this article following the WP:G12 and WP:G11 criteria for speedy deletion.

Unambiguous copyright infringement

First of all, the text of this article was substantially identical to Speaker's Biography Patrick Zhong.

Unambiguous advertising or promotion

I have also reviewed the Chinese language references. It would appear to me that they were mostly added to support the text that was itself a copyright violation. While I can read Chinese at a very basic level, it would appear that those mentions were from websites that promoted Mr Zhong, his Milken Institute address, and the companies including M31 Capital that Mr Zhong has appeared to be involved with in the way press releases do.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this, or I can help you in any way about the English language Wikipedia.

On the basis of your contributions, it appears that this is account is being used only to create spam articles, presumably on a for-pay basis given the pattern. Nick-D (talk) 07:36, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
